Why is it that I never have that!!!????? I go out and drag home another rusty, neglected, woreout, overpriced ( to me) screwed with (up) Mopar project, ..and no matter how many places of hidden rust, woreout components, Bufford's use of grade 3 bolts, unexpected expenses, unobtainable parts, I am still just totally tickled with my latest acquisition! This has been going on now for 30 odd years! '
Am I immune to Buyer's Remorse!!??? ha

OK If the mods want to move this thread to joke section.. go right ahead... but I am serious!!!!
 
Ummm! Your life is so full of Caos that you love the distraction?
That’s how my life works- sounds familiar.
It’s the “stop eating paste.” Thing I have issue with. Lol!
 
It's kinda like finding a poor little lost puppy that needs help, love, and restoration to health. I can't help it either. Excuse me, I have to go to California and pick up another neglected, misused, and abused A Body that's been sitting in the lonely desert for 20 years! Heading out Tuesday. Hold on, I'll be there soon! Now I just have to find a place to keep it! LOL

There is a show on the MotorTrend channel ( old Velocity) called Dream Car or something. Of course, reruns from 2-3 years ago.. It is basically interviews with car owners in US, Great Britain, Aussie land, and they sorta sit there and talk of their love of their car/cars. Petty cool the one I have seen.

Looks like you guys in Co. have some pretty decent bodies, if out in the desert areas. If the PO didn't move in fom NY state
 
This is a disease. There is no cure. It's like cleaning my dirt bike so I can go out and get it dirty again. Why do we do this? But I love you guys for it!

Yes, there is alot of good stuff out here. Rear wheelwells seem to go first, with rust. We used to put alot of salt and sand on the roads here in the 70s and 80s, which sat up in there and ate away the metal. Took it's toll on the Darts and Dusters, as well as the B Bodies.
 
No morning after regrets, ya know that chew your arm off feeling so as not to disturb her. In addition to the "what the hell did I drink last night" burden!

I believe the lack of remorse has to do with the "hands on" effect the car has on you, there is nothing greater than accomplishment..well almost nothing

Garage Dreams....Probably the best,well done, car show on TV.
Hopefully they bring it back for another season. Just average Joe's like us, building cars and bikes. Awesome show.
 
Buyers remorse? Many times and I'm the type of guy that analyses everything to death before I buy. One of these days I will just pull the trigger and let the chips fall where they may.
 
Hey, life is short. Just do it! I've had about 10-12 muscle cars. Buy a few sell few. It's OK. Down to 3 right now.
 
Not so much a lack of buyer's remorse as it is a fairly serious case of Mopar Basket Case Purchase Syndrome (Known as MBCPS in the medical field). People afflicted with MBCPS have little control over such purchases. Symptoms of the disease are drooling and twitching when looking at a basket case, and the inability to see it as it really is until it is payed for and home. Their is no known cure.
 
I've had buyer's remorse on only 2 or 3 times in my life.
Seller's remorse though, maybe 10 times.
Especially one that i sold to my brother, I'll never deal with him again..............

At least get a little variety. Dip it with crayons.

Bad part is as I get older ( old is a relative term here!) I see cars that a few decades ago I would not have had any lust for!!! I see beauty in most all of them. OK so I have put my foot down with lusting for chevies! Except my first car dad gave me to drive to my afternoon after school job, 49 Chevy. I would take a FREE one! And, GM guys just seem a little ODD!? ha
 
I hear ya. Had a few Camaros myself. The Roadrunners and Super Bees are getting so expensive! Like $6000 and up for a complete wreck needing everything, so I switched to A Bodies recently. You Can still find a pretty decent one for 5K or less. And they leave more room in the garage!
